The accident occurred along the Long Bridge axis of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
On Friday, Babatunde Akinbiyi, a spokesperson for the Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE), reported the incident.
According to NAN, TRACE previously reported that an undisclosed number of people were killed in the car accident.
Akinbiyi provided an update on the crash, stating that it included a silver Toyota RAV 4 with the registration number LND 13 GS, a silver Toyota Camry with the registration number GGE 369 GJ, and a Mazda bus with an undisclosed number.
According to a TRACE spokesperson, the commercial Mazda bus was reportedly engaged in wrongful overtaking before colliding with a parked defective Toyota RAV 4.
Akinbiyi said 17 passengers were in the bus when the accident happened, and 14 persons were burnt to death beyond recognition.
“The burnt commercial bus was involved in wrongful overtaking before it hit a stationary vehicle (Toyota RAV 4), parked in the middle of the road due to breakdown, and also hit a Camry car,” he said.
“In the process, it lost control, somersaulting severally before it burst into flames.”
Akinbiyi said two victims who sustained injuries were rescued and taken to Lagos State Accident and Emergency Centre, and one other to the General Hospital, Gbagada for treatment.
